Thank you, Sir ;-)
I can understand the pollution point about some of the street art, but in my view...., the pollution comes when we talk about tagging. That's half way or more to vandalism, in my eyes.

So, as I wrote in the Nordic Light Photo festival thread, here comes a few pictures from Kristiansund again.
After taking pictures in this city for many years, I thought I soon would come to an end in how many new motifs it would be possible to find.
Now, as the trip to Grip was cancelled, I took a few shots of the city before anyone else were in the streets, Sunday morning at 09:30.
That is a time I usually is deep sleeping in my bed, so these are in that content "new" motifs for me. Enjoy ;-)

Kaibakken, some kind of main street in the city senter

Anchor of the old sailing ship STELLA with the City Hall in the background

'Fisketrappa' (Fishermans Stairs). This is where, in the old days, small fishing boats would moore bow in and side by side to sell off their catch. Buyers, mostly the women of the city
would walk down the steps to buy fish

Towards the Pier and our planned transport to Grip, Hagbart Waage. The photographer there is my daughter :-)

The arty statue outside the City hall is interesting, in a coastal town there shouldn't be any lack of seagulls - but someone still thought that they should be materialized just in case....
Nice art by the way.

Last night I saw a video about Don McCullin and his transition from analog to digital photography at age 77.
It was so inspireing and he also let us take part in a couple of tricks and things to do with the digital DSLR I did not know about (mainly because I have neglected my Pentax user manual).

Anyway, and I don't know if my pictures are any better than before..., but as you can understand, McCullin is a b&w photographer ;-)

Thanks Tommi, much appreciated! :-)
I've learned one thing: shooting a picture in colour and make it b&w on the pc in the editing, and shooting b&w with the camera set in that mode, is two completely different things.
Takeing pictures in b&w is difficult.
